NOTES AND COMMENTS. Col. James Tribble declines to run on the prohibition ticket for lieuten ant governor. Col. Tribble displays good generalship. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ On account of a pressure of other matter and lack of time wc omit the editorials from this issue of The Led ger. We never like to send out an incomplete paper, but sometimes it is not convenient to do what one would like to do, and this is one of those occasions with us.. The excellent article on “Decora tion Day at Fort McHenry,” to be found in another column, is from the pen of Bryant B. Lipscomb, a Chero kee boy. We are always delighted to publish any matter that may be sent us by former Chcrokeeans, espe cially when they contain merit. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The prohibitionists propose mak ing a gallant fight this year. Their cause is a just one, but the horse they have picked out for the race is a lame one, and we fear will not he able to reach the quarter stretch. At any rate, it looks as if we are to have two more years of printer gov ernorship. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend the commencement ex ercises at Limestone College Thurs day evening. Dr. Powell will deliver the address before the graduating class on this occasion. Dr. rowel! is one of the most gifted men of this country and all who attend Thursday night may expect a treat. There will he no Fourth of July celebration in (xaffney tliis year. At least that is the decision of the com mittee that had the matter in charge. If some one else desires to undertake the project The Ledger will do all in its power to help; but one thing is certain, it w'll have nothing to do with the miuiagemer t or the begging ,for funds. _ Mr. Surratt Nominated. Gowdeysvili.e, June 2, 1900. Mr. Editor:—As the time is draw ing near for the announcements of candidates for tho various county offices, and as there Is but one an nounced for the legislature, we sug gest the name of Judson Sarratt, of Gaffney, as a suitable candidate to represent us in the general assembly of South Carolina. He is a young man of fine businesss qualities, a gentleman and u scholar, and a bril liant and eloquent speaker. Hishon ored father represented this section, which was then old Union county, in the legislature with credit to himself and honor to his country; and we feel safe in saying that his brilliant son will follow in his worthy foot steps. Many Friends. Dealli of Mr*. Hopper. Mrs. Mary A. Hopper, wife of Mr. W. C. Hopper, died at her home in the city Sunday evening atG o’clock in the forty-seventh year of her age. after years of affliction which she bore with Christian fortitude. She leaves her husband and two sons and one daughter, all grown, to mourn their sad bereavement. Mrs. Hopper was a consistent member of the Baptist church and died with all the consolation of her comforting faith. The remains were buried yesterday afternoon at Providence church in the presence of her many sorrowing friends and relatives. Rev. B. P. Robertson con ducted the funeral services. The Celebration Abandoned. The committee appointed to solicit contributions for a Fourth of July celebration met in Mayor Littlejohn’s office yesterday afternoon to consider the matter of the celebration. The committee reported tho subscriptions to the fund, and. after considering the matter carefully, it was decided to abandon the celebration. The committee lacked about $100 of se curing the necessary contributions to carry out the project and rather than run the risk of having the celebration to bo a failure it was decided to de clare tho celebration off.

The Blackberry Crop is Abun dant. HARVEST IS AT HAND. Many I’rrai Ih-i-m Mon- t'onceriUMl About What Tlirlr llmn-r* Nny Than What (And Think* of Thrlr Sermon* —IVnionnl I’llra- grapiiN. Etta Jane, June 1.—With this let ter we close our correspondence for the present. We hope to return to The Ledger’s columns shortly with better reading matter than we have heretofore been able to furnish it. In the meantime, we hope the regular contributor-, will be heard from and that new ones will join the band. Although just a week has passed ►ince we have had rain, the ground is getting hard. Almost every correspondent of The Ledger has, at one time or another, had something to say of Dr. Talmago’s sermons, and all have spoken in the highest terms of them. They couldn’t do otherwise. We hope that those who have not read the one in lust Tuesday’s Ledger will do so and file it away for future reference. Too many of our preachers are more concerned about what their hearers say than what God thinks of their sermons; for that reason they deal lightly with great and vita! questions until public sentiment has blazed out tho way. There has been a great de al of farm work done this week. Hands are scarce and wages high. Oats and wheat are beginning to ripen. The blackberry crop is abundant. brother L. B. D. “says the day has passed when poor work wiil suf fice in public school teaching.” To this we say, Amen! It is a great pity it was ever allowed, for its effect is lure to stay. But let us hope for the future and try arid prulir by the past. Do we stop to consider that what we are making of our children they are going to be? Their minds arul character arc being moulded like a piece of iron in a fiery furnace. is the average pupil taught in the common school to look to the prosper ity and happiness of his home and to crown his father's grey hairs with honor and gratitude for the sacrifice ho has tnade? Or is it a distinctive fealurtf of our common schools to see the dear 'mother repaid with well merited love and devotion? Alas, if such has been its aim, it has faiien far short of it in many casts. The great aim of education should be to make us-, ful men and women. Child hood shows the man just as morning shows the day’. Xu one wiil deny that cultivation is just as necessary to the mind as food is to the body. The State desires to estab.ish a* first class f-ystem of education and one that will be both permanent and practicable. \V’e do not wish to see higher education crippled in its u?e- fultu-HS, but we do ue*ire to see the standard of the common schools r us ed to that piano from which a boy or gin cun step from the one to the other with perfect ease. So far as the State colleges and higher institu tions of learning are concerned, we do not obj-ct to their teaching the higher branches, in ^.-ase they cany with them a reasonable amount of common sense—otherwise we see what consummate frauds the tax payers arc fostering with hard earned pennies. Xo man of integrity can listen to reason against conscience, for J-dm- son says, “He who loves r.yl his country lover, nothing.” While speaking of the school room and tho br-et methods of gnv rning it, w>: will append a few simple rules which, if carried out, v.ill he produc tive of great good both to toucher and pupil: Don’t worry your pupils with cno hundred little rules concerning the things they “must not” do. Don’t spend your time telling them they "must not” do this, and “must not” do that, but simply slato in a few words the things you wish them to do,‘and then see that it is done. Don’t tell them to do one way, and change your mind before they begin. They never thoroughly understand you. Don’t be hasty and impatient. Don’t let little wrongs pais unno ticed. Don’t open your school the first morning Ai l: a -cov.land a heavy stroke of the rui. r against the desk to shoA’the pupil* how it will echo, but gain Hie good will of the sehoM, with strict yet chrufui manat rism toward all. and throw smibs around the school room, rather than sticks of woo l at their heads. Don’t forget that they are human beings, as weW as your brother or sis ter, and that a little “thank you” is not out of place in a school room. Census Taker—Madam, your age, please? Good Lady—What do you want to know that for? Census Taker—The law requires that I get everybody’s ge. Good Lady—Did Miss Jones tell you Hit’s? Census Taker—Certainly she did. Good Lady—Well, I’m just two years younger than she is. The veterans are having a good time at Louisville just now. About one-third of tho camps in this State arc represented there. Beyond u doubt the K .ntuckjuns wiil make the visit of the veterans and their friends a very pleasant one. We hope to have a full report of tho meeting when they return. The children of the Bnhbath school are getting ready for'ehildren’s day, Thursday July 20. The Antioch hand have a special invitation to fur nish music for the occasion. Rev. James B. Moffatt, of Chester, is ex pected to be present arul deliver an address in the afternoon. house on Wednesday night to prac tice. It will meet Saturday night again. The recent rains have done great damage to the public roads. In places gullies are washed out and made travel on wheels difficult. We hope our authorities will soon have them repaired. •>. D- *• AT FORT M’HENRY. Decoration Day OImutvcU l>y the Mary lander*. (Coiresj-omlem-e of The Ledger.) Fort McHenry, Md., May 30 — Look, the ling is half mast! What does that mean? Its “Decoration Day”—legal holiday. No work shall be done today. We shall do honors to the brave that are sleeping, and give thanks to Him that has given us victory upon victory, courage un told, undreamed of, and love for liberty that no nation can boast of. “First call” bud sounded,—then “Reveille”—the small canon sent forth its awakening, cracking alarm, the glorious stars and stripes were raised to the heighth of the fl ig staff, then lowered ,t° mast.” She drops her open-faced countenance, and an expression of sorrow creeps o’er its masterly colors. A thought, perhaps sweet, perhaps sad, seems to creep her laurels. Xo more does she look cheerful, but lias chang' d into a stupid, worried trance. Darkness seems to enhance her thoughts—she waves to and fro’ as the cool breezes of the Chesapeake gently, but con tinually drive the cold drops of per spiration that had covered her pale forehead, and seemed to partially refresh tho sweet memories of yester day. Then the breeze ceased, the sadness again became distinct— quietude reigns supreme. How strange everything seems to be. Xo one has anything to say. All look as though dreaming. Occasionally a little bird would break the silent air with a song, then cease as though some one had reminded it of its for getfulness. Nine, ten, eleven and twelve o’clock came. lOthing but sadness had greeted these long hours. Five minutes of twelve came, the ramparts were covered with soldiers and spectators, tho guns were manned by large, healthy, and courageous soldiers—typical Americans. Two minutes of twelve the command came “with blank cartridges, load!” Every man knew his duties, and hud loaded in less time than it takes to tell it. The clock struck twelve at tho same instance the command was given Xo. 1, tired.
